Caution:
• Remove the AC power cable of this unit from the power outlet
before connecting the speakers.
• Generally speaker cables consist of two parallel insulated
cables. One of these cables is a different color, or has a line
running along it, to indicate different polarity. Insert the different
colored (or lined) cable into the “+” (positive, red) terminal
on this unit and the speakers, and the other cable into the “-”
(minus, black) terminal.
• Be careful that the core of the speaker cable does not touch
anything or come into contact with the metal areas of this unit.
This may damage this unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables
short circuit, “CHECK SP WIRES!” will appear on the front panel
display when this unit is switched on.
• This unit is con gured for 8Ω speakers at the factory setting.
When connecting 6Ω speakers, con gure the speaker impedance
setting of this unit to 6Ω. When this unit is con gured for 6Ω
speakers, 4Ω speakers can also be used as the front speakers.
For more information on setting the speaker impedance, refer to
“Changing speaker impedance” in the Owner’s Manual.

When using an HDMI compatible TV that supports
Audio Return Channel functions and / or HDMI Control functions
(e.g., Panasonic VIERA Link), you can enjoy the TV sound on this
unit as follows:
When using a TV that supports the Audio Return Channel
function and HDMI Control function
The audio / video output from the unit to the TV and audio output
from the TV to the unit are possible using a single HDMI cable.
The input source is switched automatically to match operations
carried out on the TV, and that makes TV sound control easier to
use.
For the connections and settings, refer to “Using the HDMI Control
function” in the Owner’s Manual.
When using a TV that supports HDMI Control functions
When HDMI Control functions are enabled on the unit, input source
can be switched automatically to match operations carried out on
the TV.
For the connections and settings, refer to “Using the HDMI Control
function” in the Owner’s Manual.
If your TV has multiple inputs, connect with the following priority (A to C).
Video input to this unit is output to a TV using output jacks of the
same kind.
When connecting to an HDMI compatible TV
Video signal such as component video and video received by this unit
is converted to HDMI and output to the TV. Just select HDMI input on
the TV to view video from any external source connected to this unit.
You can change the resolution and aspect ratio used when converting
to HDMI to suit your requirements.

If the playback device and TV are equipped with different types
of analog video jacks, this unit will convert the video signal to
component video signal, or vice-versa, according to the type of video
input jacks used by the TV. For more information on video signal

Connect playback device such as BD/DVD players and recorders
• When playback, select the corresponding input source to which the jack is connected.
• At the default settings, input sources and sound programs are preset on the SCENE keys. When a playback device is connected to HDMI 1
pressing BD/DVD under SCENE key selects the HDMI 1 input. When a playback device is connected to AV3, pressing CD under SCENE selects
the AV3 input. The input source and sound program preset on the SCENE key can be changed. For more information on the SCENE function,
refer to “Changing input settings with a single key (SCENE function)” in the Owner’s Manual.
• If necessary, you can connect components that cannot be connected using the above methods, such as devices that output video from
component video output jacks and audio from analog output jacks. Refer to “Connecting external components” in the Owner’s Manual for
details.
If your playback device has multiple audio/video outputs, connect with the following priority
(A to D) to enjoy a higher quality sounds and images.

When all connections are complete, adjust the con guration, sizes, and volume
balance of the speakers to provide an optimal sound  eld. This unit is equipped with a
Yamaha Parametric Room Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) function that adjusts the speaker
balance automatically with a simple procedure.
When using YPAO, a test tone will be output from the speakers for approximately 3 minutes to measure acoustics. Be aware of the following when
using YPAO.
• The test tone is output at high volume. Refrain from using this function at night when it may be a nuisance to others.
• Take care that the test tone does not frighten small children.
YPAO operations can be viewed on the front panel display or TV screen. TV display is used here to explain operation.
1
Check the following before using YPAO.
This unit
• The headphones are removed.
TV
• This unit is connected to the TV correctly.
• The power is turned on.
• The video input to which the video output
from this unit has been selected.
Subwoofer
• The power is turned on.
• Volume is set to approximately half, and the
cross-over frequency (if present) is set to
maximum.
2
Place the supplied YPAO microphone at ear height in your listening
position.
When positioning the microphone, we recommend that you use equipment that allows you to
adjust the height (such as a tripod) as a microphone stand. When using a tripod, use the tripod
screws to  x the microphone in place.
3
Press RECEIVER A on the remote control to switch this unit on.
4
Connect the YPAO microphone to the YPAO MIC jack on the front panel.
YPAO microphone
YPAO MIC
ZONE2 ZONE CONTROL
MAIN ZONE
“Mic On. View ON SCREEN” appears on
the front panel display, and then the display
at right appears on the TV screen.
This completes preparation. To achieve more accurate results, take note of the following when measuring acoustics.
• It takes approximately 3 minutes to accurately measure acoustics. Keep the room as quiet as possible while acoustics are measured.
• Wait in a corner of the room, or leave it entirely, while acoustics are measured to avoid creating an obstruction between the speakers and
the YPAO microphone.
